The 5X from LG, meanwhile, has the same hardware features as its big brother—including a USB-C port, fingerprint sensor, and new camera—behind a 5.2-inch HD LCD display.

And while there is nothing inherently romantic about a new gadget, Google hopes to entice tech lovers with its steamy rollbacks. Consumers can now pick up the 32GB Matte Gold Nexus 6P for $449, or any 16GB Nexus 5X for $299 (though, as of press time, the ice blue color option was out of stock).

But don't click that green checkout button just yet.

"We played matchmaker and created some dynamic duos that will take your tech to a whole new level," the store website said.

Buy any Nexus 6P and you'll receive a $50 credit toward the purchase of a Huawei Watch; the balance, however, is applicable only in the Google Store and must be used by Sept. 1.
